composition and the poetry is a newer venture. I welcome your
comments on both and during the weeks to come i will add more
poetry to this site,

within the depth of oleanders

they reside
in the whitest of oleanders
in a garden that listens
to children's laughter

loose clothing
leaves a space between itself
and their bodies become
naked and free

breathing her in
she blooms with his desire
he covers her body
with his lips his eyes

in the dead sands of the desert
immortality has no path
there affair dissolves
like water in sand

the softness of piano keys
seduce beneath the sky
their melody
the brilliance, the stillness

their moment of music
aches across the sea
fever rages within him
recalling the scent of white hot flowers

poisoning, penetrating another woman
with his desire for her

the bees love poetry

oh to capture words
align them across paper
side by side
each word belonging
to the next
alighting our feelings
like the brilliant hues
which gather
to celebrate the sun
fall behind
the horizon
words so powerful
they awaken our tears
and withstand
the years
so we may know
the miracle
of
the sunrise...

j.k.

the color putrid

far beyond which i cannot see
do i imagine existence
or does existence imagine me?
hearing the devil's laughter
echo through my deaf ears
nothing can dry invisible tears...

To Trust The Trees

My eyes have lost their place.
Perceived on a pathway
a seraphic leaf frees itself
flitter-fluttering effortlessly.
It's soft deliberateness strokes my cheek.
Billowing trees bow before me
blocking the black clouds.
As they arch their spindly branches
all emotion fades.
My lone steps languish themselves
in malingering mist.
Upon the gaze of awareness
I slip away,
before my vision will ever reach
the end, I trust the trees.

j.k.

on an ethereal blanket blissfully floating

oh to catch our breath
on the dark side of the moon
void of earth's oxygen;

a wisp of weightlessness.

we inhale our very own imagination.
shimmering in silvery light years,
entangled silhouettes scintillate

with bated breath,

reflecting a universe
a thousand times brighter
than the sun.

a love ever so brilliant...

In The Heart Of A Poet There Is No Weakness

There is no existence.
We only think there is.

Every second is
taken for granted,contemplated only after it has vanished.

Poetry....dear sweet poetry,inhales the moments
we have exhaled too quickly.

It has no walls
to imprison our thoughts.

In between every line
abounds poetic freedom.

Wild willful self-expression...

'absolute'

How many children
were snuffed away
in the hell of man ?

Who then shall reside in the blood of a rose
and revel in its delight.

May freedom forever float
in the boundless haven
somewhere between our pen and ink
and poetic eternity.

For what is poetry
when forbidden to carry
brutal pain,
settling within the spray of gunpowder
from man's endless love affair with violence.

Those burning bullets
barely brushing by,as we turn the other cheek,
stoically skipping through fantasyland.

May we forever capture her
existence,
which we exhaled too quickly,
only contemplating after she vanished.

The little girl aflame
in her red coat.

She still smolders...

Her fleeting moment in time
left frozen in a photograph.

Forgive me for not writing about
the beauty in a flower
she never beheld.

Poetry is so much more,

not only for those who found love,

also

for those who never knew it...

A Window Just Barely Ajar

Hinting wisps of air hesitate.
Speckles of eons spattered on walls;
on floor.

All thoughts are held prisoner
behind a bolted door.

Daylight's delusion
refuses to shine on existence anymore.

The stillness saturates, suffocating all thought.
With merely a tinge of sheerness left to explore,

deranged disproportions of life
are prohibited from keeping score,

while hushed apparitions hover,
barely dancing,

the still breeze cannot ignore.
A subtle nudge, a slight movement,

and the world is at war...

Hi, my name is Janice Kelly.

Let me begin by saying I got my first toy piano when I was
just a little girl. For reasons I can't explain I not only enjoyed
playing this little piano but almost immediately started
composing simple songs. With each song I felt that a gift had
been bestowed upon my shoulders...a gift that I always wanted
to share with others.

Now here you are—reading my website—hopefully excited about
hearing the music I have written over the years. Music has always
nourished my emotional and mental states just as food has
nourished my body. Now my hope is that when you listen, you will
feel my fingers on the keyboard and my heart touching yours.

Some songs are new, others not...but each one is a gift I would
like to share with you.

Thank you for visiting my site. Please enjoy it, sign my Guest Book
and come back as often as you wish. Tell a friend what you have
heard here and the gift is multiplied.

Always,

Janice

Bipolar Love Poem

mockingly out of reach
i needed to look into your eyes...
you never noticed
the hot chocolate dripping
down the front of your shirt...
your watch strategically set
five minutes fast
we must have missed something...

forever memories

god's mistress

know the pain in the sky
she is there spreading herself too thin
convoluted
heaven doesn't know how to lie

rest with me

on a wooden porch looking out to sea
won't you sit for awhile and rest with me

when the evening falls and the sky grows gray
we'll wait until dark then together we'll say...

rest with me...always and forever, rest with me...

when the clouds roll in and the sun has gone
and the nights are short and the days are long

when the ocean waves have stopped rolling in
we’ll hold hands together and say again

rest with me...always and forever, rest with me...

on the wooden porch our old rocking chairs
give great comfort as we sit and stare

at the feather beds forming in the sky
that give us a purpose, a reason why

rest with me...always and forever, rest with me...

little red piano

i had a little red piano
i had little red dancing shoes
i had a head full of songs and notes
and my red piano played the blues

i wrote the music on paper
i filled up lots of pads
but they disappeared like a vapor
th' best songs i ever had

so now i hold 'em in my head
so i can always play for you
sit back and listen if you will
while i play you a song or two...

one day i lost my piano
and i outgrew my little red shoes
it made me sad to see 'em go
but now i can play th' soulful blues

we lose little treasures along the way
little red pianos and dancing shoes
things we had saved for a rainy day
longing to hear th' red piano blues

well, here they are, just pray for rain
and i'll play you a song or two
then close th' door quietly but come back again
to hear th' little red piano an' th' plunked out blues...

separation

waves wander in mirroring the cloudspainting the sandthe sun serenely surrenders the daycrawling beneath its colorful blanketeyeing enviously the miraculous elements at play

i knowingly walk upon an invisible miragereflecting the myriads of my madnessthe shore magically mimics the skydipped in icy blue and golden lavenderit only takes one last breath to diemy soul banters betwixt sun and moon

and as sunken footprints slip through timeless sandstepping farther apartsifting through grains of midnightthere are two spirits at heartstalking both sides of the moonin separation as always
